A Short Conclusion

I wrote this late at night, cut me slack..

For the last 8 years, George W. Bush ran the country with a rickety wheel. He didn't always know where he was going, or why he was going, but he was just going. Come Tuesday, he will be going, going to Prairie Chapel Ranch, where - during his Presidency, he spent a combined total of 490 days, about 15 months over 77 visits of his 8 years in office.[1] When President Bush leaves the White House, President-Elect Barack H. Obama will move in along with his wife Michelle and his two daughters. The first African American to become President of the United States.

An estimated 2 million people are expected to show up in Washington to watch Obama's Inauguration at the Capitol [2], most of them standing in the -1 degree weather, as only 28,000 seats were available.

A long and tiresome road, has finally come to an end - 2 years on the campaign trail, full of hope, change, and Palin. Oh how we shall miss Palin, and her "small town, average Joe" ways. I put them in quotes, as the idea of them actually being considered fact is a bit of a stretch.

As the Bush reign winds down to a fortunate, and long awaited conclusion, history will judge the former President, not as a savior - not as a leader, but as an embarrassment. It had been speculated that the main cause of the global negative view of the United States, was all caused by a man in an oval shaped office. Sure makes you think just how much power that seat holds.

Lets just hope the plateau Obama has been lifted on, doesn't decide to break. No pressure, eh?

Breathe easy.
